The project was part of Hallowe'en students in grades 1, 2 and 3. Their costumes were activities at Lord Elgin School last week. United Way Reaches 61% of Objective But More Help Needed to Go Over Top The babies stole the show. Certainly one of the highlights of our pre-natal class was the trip to the hospital last week in order to get a preview of the maternity ward and ask a few last-minute questions before the stork touches down. The equipment and facilities at the Oshawa General are impressive, of course. It was good to be able to gliippse such things as fetal monitors, labor rooms, recovery room, and the gleaming delivery room which we viewed from a safe and sterile distance. I admit that it was stupid of me not to expect to find babies on the maternity ward. But since this is our first child, we have been thinking so much about relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, contractions, and so forth that we may have lost sight of the final product. The trip to the hospital certainly corrected this flaw in our thinking and proved that a six pound healthy infant is more interesting than a whole ward full of gleaming equipment and apparatus used in the birth process. I think most of us could have stood at the nursery window for hours and watched the babies. In spite of the fact that they do little more than sleep, eat, cry, and wave tiny arms and legs, they kept us spellbound. It's amazing to think that there in the hospital nursery lies the graduating class of the year 2000. The football hero, cheerleaders, student council, academics, and artists are all lying in this great big baby parking lot in stages of mood that range between howls of protest and silent sleep. It's amazing to think that this flock will live most of their lives in the twenty-first century. It's interesting to speculate on whether they'll walk on the moon or solve the energy crisis or elect a non-Liberal government in the Canadian Parliament. One thing I do know is that seeing those babies in that large nursery made me feel more optimistic about the future. I won't be quite as willing to believe the professional worrywarts who proclaim that we face a bleak future due to threats of war or economic hardship. I have peeked through the nursery windows and seen the future. And the future looks round and roly-poly and pink. The fact of the matter is that the future will take care of itself. The Oshawa-Whitby- Newcastle United Way campaign campaign has now reached 61 per cent of its objective of $1.5 million, with $911,808 received to date. Hugh Holland, Campaign Chairman, said that although many groups are showing good returns, there are several several areas which have shown little or no progress - and that these must respond if the objective is to be achieved. He appealed to both canvassers and donors in these areas of concern to complete their collections collections as soon as possible to maintain the momentum of the campaign. Groups singled out for their excellent contributions were: GM employees, who have achieved 70 per cent of their goal, with $555,313 donated to date; the agencies, who have raised $10,300, 89 per cent of their objective; Oshawa North East and Northwest in the commercial sector, with 79 per cent ($1,103) and 82 per cent ($1,978) respectively; and the Dental Profession, which has contributed $2,365, which is 70 per cent of its objective.

His father, the late Mr. Hilton Beggs, died in a well disaster when Elvin was only-one year old.
